How to indicate in turbotax that I had filed for an 'extension 4868 without payment' using some other tax software so it shows up in state return?

Hello,

I am filing my 2024 tax return in TurboTax and need help with my Ohio state return.

 

Here is my situation:

  • I had e-filed a federal extension (Form 4868) back in April using a different tax software (FreeTaxUSA).

  • I made a $0 payment with that extension.

My goal is to have TurboTax correctly check (X) the "Federal extension filers - check here" line on my Ohio Form IT 1040, as shown in the image below.

In the past, as shown in my 2023 state return screenshot image above, I've been able to trigger this in a different tax software (TaxSlayer) by entering the payment amount that I had made during the extension ($1), but I'm not sure how to do it for a $0 payment made with the extension.

 

Could you please provide the specific steps in TurboTax to report a previously filed federal extension for the purpose of showing extension in the state return (like the screenshot above)?

 

Thank you!
